The $2,500 rebate consists of a general $2,000 rebate and a $500 rebate that varies. Ie, some people have $500 student rebate, others have a separate coupon received in the mail for $500. The $2,000 rebate only applies to 2012 Foci. I don't recall if the $500 would apply to 2013 models or not.

I was always a little confused by how people describe their prices. Are they offering you $23,020.00 - $2,500? So basically a little under invoice and then the rebates too? Sounds like a great deal to me.

I can't really understand what language some people in this topic are speaking but you're already under invoice. Holdback is $716 on this car so they're making $500 in holdback before paying someone to get it.

Could you get another $250 off, sure if you try but it sounds like you really want this car. Also check the options because I'm only seeing winter pkg, MFT, no nav, and keyless entry pad.

Just my experience: MSRP $24,795, price BEFORE rebates: $21,295, price AFTER rebates: $19,795. But i also bought mine back in April and in California so dealer perks are different from state to state. But that doesn't sound bad, it comes out to a total of $4,135 which is nothing to shake a stick at. Do what you feel is right and GOOD LUCK! :)

Woops. You are correct. Wrongly assumed/thought it was part of the MFT package. Was planning on using Google Maps regardless.

Wonder if I can get them to throw in remote start for a good price. ;)

What is the dealer holdback on a 2012 SEL hatch?
